Windows 7 - New larger HD not showing the correct size ?

Actually i'm changing from a 60gb SSD to a 120gb SSD
I restored my image onto the new SSD using shadow protect.

The system boots ok but in 'my computer' and treesize my new drive is only showing the original 60gb.

I went to disk management and that shows a 120gb drive with no unallocated space ! extend partition is greyed out.

so how do I fix this please?

Thanks for all and any help - always appreciated.

Can you post a screenshot of your Disk Management window? Are you 100% sure the new drive is a 120 GB SSD?

Yes absolutely sure and as you can see in the disc manager it sees it as 111gb
its Disk 1

mpooley,
What does DiskPart show?

I just noticed, you speak of "My Computer".

If you | click on COMPUTER in the right-hand column | right-click on C | choose properties

What do you see?

This is what I get

What I see is a 60 GB disk that someone has give a name or 128GB

You could give it the name of 6 GB and it would stil be a 60 GB Disk.

well what I see is my brand new 120gb drive only showing up as a 60gb drive- I named it like that because that is its true size.

as detailed before using Diskpart which shows it as 111gb and disk manager which also shows it as 111gb
so are you doubting after all that I have shown you it is really a 60gb drive that I have renamed as 120gb drive in the hopes that it will magically increase in size?

Despite the label, Disk Management still shows the proper size for the drive, yet the drive properties do not. That's strange, but at least we know there is a definite issue.
